Parks and Recreation is my favorite show. I feel like a broken record reminding people of this fact but it is the truth: I love that show with my whole heart. Meaning I know these characters like the back of my own hand. And people love to misunderstand Ron Swanson.
Played by Nick Offerman, the character is a libertarian, meaning that he’s basically against the involvement of the government. His job within the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department is basically his way of fighting the system by having the government pay him and yet he won’t do anything to actually help the government. Unfortunately, Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) does the job of 20 people so it doesn’t really work in Ron’s favor but he still gets money to do basically nothing.
